Today, I had a morning shift at the restaurant and didn't feel like wearing makeup. I was energetic and greeted everyone happily, but my manager told me I looked tired. I said, "Oh no I'm just not wearing makeup!" He said, "Well, you might need it." FML

What's updog?
Today, all of my friends and teachers asked me what was wrong because I looked sad and tired. One kid even said that I looked like "an abused housewife the day after." I was fine. It was the first time I went to school without wearing any makeup. FML

Shot from both sides
Today, I was yelled at by multiple people at work for not wearing any makeup. The only reason I don’t wear makeup is because my mom is guaranteed to make me cry before I leave the house every morning, so there’s no point. FML

Today, my boss commented on the fact that I don't usually wear makeup, then told me it would be much appreciated if I'd change that. FML

Wrong move
Today, I told a coworker, “You look way better without makeup.” She responded, “I’m wearing makeup.” Everyone around us gasped like I had just said "fuck" in church. FML

Today, I was written up at work and sent home 20 minutes into my shift. My boss thought I was under the influence of something, but it’s really just the first time I’ve come to work with no makeup on. FML

Don't worry, that's just society's way of saying "My beauty standards are screwed up".

Well of course anyone who is used to seeing you with so much pink and orange make up plastered all over your face will think you look ill if your face isn't as colorful! Natural beauty is the way to go anyway, you don't need make-up. It's just a sign of insecurity....

I feel so self conscious as it is, with or with out makeup. That must have felt horrible :(

It's just that they're not used to seeing you in your natural beauty.

The Barbie dolls from my old high school used to try this and they looked like crap! Don't worry about it, none of us are perfect :)

I never wore much makeup after my goth years (10-16) but without lipstick I looked almost near death! Very pale and sickly. So as a gift one birthday I got permanent makeup done. This means my lips had color tattooed on so they always look made up. I also have eyebrow done and a permanent black line on my eyelids. I never have to buy makeup again.

Sounds extremely painful!

It was for the lips. Another bit I hated was having blood pour in my mouth. The needle on the eyelid did not hurt that bad and the eyebrows were really easy.

I'm not trying to be mean, but maybe you wore too much makeup before. Makeup has a way of making people look completely different if they use too much. Apparently that's a similar case with you.
